[Canvas the Bear] was the one piece out of all of them that made everyone crack a smile at one point, It was funny. It was jazzy. It was impeccably crafted all the way throughout…[in Threnody], everything that came through, there wasn’t any question about what (Schroeder) wanted the listener to hear. So that’s simply great orchestration.”
– Alexander Miller, Composer and Assistant Principal Oboist with the Grand Rapids Symphony.
